How to Turn Off A Propane Tank

Your propane system has some great features that include being able to turn off the gas easily whenever needed. To turn off the gas at your tank, start by opening the lid of the tank to reveal the shutoff valve. Then turn the shutoff valve to the right or clockwise to stop the flow of propane. If you have more than one tank, turn them all off the same way.
